Everyone’s safety is always a priority at College and we would remind you to ensure that you have your ID badge on display at all times.

There will also be support for students in tutorial sessions re enforcing how you can keep yourself safe.I know that this is a difficult time, particularly for all those affected and our thoughts are with the victims, their family and friends.

Most of you will have read or heard in the news that there has been a serious cyber-attack affecting thousands of organisations around the world including the NHS in the U.K. Experts are also predicting further attacks in the coming days. Whilst we are confident that our servers are protected against the particular vulnerability exploited last week and are patched against known vulnerabilities, we can never be 100% safe.

The best form of protection is prevention, so, if you receive an email with an attachment that you are not expecting or from a source you do not recognise, please do not open it, please check it with the sender or contact the service desk.
